Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1523 - 1461: The Girl Is Quite Mischievous

Wufu and Ah Jiu arrived at the cellar where the man was imprisoned. The dead soldier was hanging from the wall, his jaw dislocated, his face grotesquely elongated, covered in scars—evidence of torture and forced interrogation.

Seeing Wufu and company approach, the dead soldier’s lips curled into a disdainful smile, as if his eyes were silently saying, go ahead, kill me if you can, but don’t expect to extract anything from my mouth.

Wufu glanced around the cellar, ignoring the dead soldier, and instructed Chi Wu beside him, "Go fetch a few lamps and light up this cellar brightly."

Chi Wu, not understanding, obediently complied.

The dead soldier was also full of doubts. What was this woman planning? Did she think that lighting up the cellar would make him talk? Ridiculous!

Chi Wu quickly had several lamps brought in, making the small cellar as bright as day.

"Bring a chair and take him down," Wufu said again.

Chi Wu complied.

"From now on, don’t let him sleep, not even close his eyes once," Wufu said sinisterly, glaring at the dead soldier, "The moment he agrees to talk, let him rest his eyes."

Upon hearing this, the dead soldier’s face turned pale, his eyes widened in shock, staring at Wufu as if she were a Female Asura from Hell.

Being deprived of sleep might not sound serious, but what about enduring it for a day, two days, three, four, or five?

Could anyone hold out without sleeping for so long?

This was just the beginning.

"Dead soldiers, as Yuan Ye mentioned, are tough people. Going without sleep might mean nothing to them. So if he really holds out, bring some paper, soak it in water, and layer it sheet by sheet on his face," Wufu walked up to the dead soldier, smiling brightly, patting him on the shoulder, "Brother, hang in there. Don’t disgrace the dead soldiers; I’m counting on you!"

The dead soldier’s facial muscles twitched; who the hell is your brother, you demon? How could Heaven allow you to spread havoc in the world!

After finishing her words, Wufu stood up and said to Chi Wu and the others, "Keep a good watch, if he closes his eyes, you all can have a taste of this experience."

Threat—this was an absolute threat!

However, everyone felt a chill down their spine, fully aware she was not joking.

"Yes!" No one dared to disobey; denying sleep and darkness was contrary to the laws of the universe, just thinking about it was terrifying.

"You’re being mischievous again."

After leaving the cellar, Ah Jiu flicked her forehead.

Wufu said, "How is this being mischievous? This is as serious a punishment as it gets!"

"Only you could come up with such a vicious trick," Ah Jiu thought the dead soldier couldn’t last.

"I didn’t come up with it; it’s something I’ve seen before," Wufu revealed a trace of reminiscence on her face.

Ah Jiu hesitated for a moment, cautiously asking, "Is it a punishment from your previous place?"

Wufu looked at him.

Ah Jiu quickly said, "If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine."

"You want to know?" Wufu smiled, "I don’t mind telling you."

Ah Jiu’s eyes lit up with anticipation. He had long wanted to know her true origins, and now he finally had the chance, naturally making him happy.

"Let’s first see if anyone else has made any discoveries." Wufu leaned on his arm, "My story can wait, it’s not urgent. What’s most important now is to find out who is hiding in the shadows, trying to kill you!"

Ah Jiu’s expression darkened slightly, nodding, he too wanted to find out who hated him enough to want him dead.
